    Jim Steinman originally wrote Total Eclipse as part of working on a musical adaptation of the film Nosferatu that never happened, then Bonnie Tyler recorded it, and then later Steinman recycled it again when he wrote the music for Dance of the Vampires, a musical based on The Fearless Vampire...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I need to do that again one of these days - it's been a while. My general procedure is that, if I haven't clicked it in the last two years or more, or can't remember what the hell the link was for, I delete it... Although... I do have a bunch of links in my favorites list to long-gone pages and...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I went in for about $175 on the Fairy Tales Battle Royale miniatures KS, and after all the crap that went on with that, they apparently didn't even have a record of my pledge... :rolleyes:

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I've lived by this quote most of my adult life, but that's actually the first time I've ever heard it, lol. The cap in my avatar pic is the one I wear every day. Well, he is a lawyer or something like that, right? :p

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Cool Story: The company that manufactured the miniatures for Macho Women with Guns* - a small outfit called Simtac - was fairly local to me and, through a friend, I once found myself at the house of the guy who ran the company, playing some WWII tank battle on a big table in his garage... *And...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Never played TSL, but I've always been fond of Macho Women with Guns... :p (And it has its own miniatures, too...)

    I can't do a backflip, but I'm awesome at doing backflops.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Well, it's not really a mini, but I just finished the Metal Earth model of the Millenium Falcon... Ye gods, those things take forever, lol. It has a tendency to tip over forward, so I packed the hollow base with greenstuff to give it some weight and stability. I'm now on to the tie fighter...

    How long before you tire of a thread here?

    Really depends a lot on the subject, and often the particular people involved. For example, creative stuff like helping people brainstorm for their campaigns usually keeps my interest for quite a while but rules discussions mostly only last a couple or a handful of pages - I generally clock out...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Bring a decent amount of some generic taco stuff, then bring a smaller amount of something authentic and don't really tell anyone about it but share it with them if they ask.

    I used to read that, back when I was too young to be reading that...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I generally try to get at least seven and a half hours. But quite often it ends up being six, or even five, or four. I know from experience that I can generally go for four or five days on four hours of sleep before I hit the wall, but I've never actually discovered my real hardline limit, which...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Every once in a while, I'll have some random thought that just comes out of nowhere and scares the hell out of me, and I have to stop and go, "WTF?"... :oops: My brain is twisty and full of spiders.

    Happy Mother's Day

    I played a drug dealer named Mother in the play "A Hatful of Rain" back in college - the cast bought me a Mother's Day card.

    Your most "visceral" experience at a movie theater.

    I accidentally, got kneed in the stones once doing the Eddie/Columbie scene in Rocky... That felt pretty visceral, lol. :p

    I got to see a liger once at the Ren Faire. That thing was frackin' huuuuge... I'll be really impressed, though, when somebody discovers actual jackalopes out in the wild.
